Laser Link III Mainframe Description, Continued
Fiber may be routed from the chassis through the bubble front of the door, through
ear holes on the side, or through the channel on the right side and out the rear of the
unit. Nineteen-inch rear support brackets are included and their use is
recommended.
Power Distribution
Main power can be universal AC,-48 V DC, or +24 V DC input. With universal AC
or -48 V DC, the Laser Link III chassis requires a power supply (converter). This unit
accepts the AC or the -48 V DC and performs the required conversion to output +24
V DC to the power distribution board (under which the power supply resides).
Should the +24 V DC be available, the mainframe can be operated without a power
supply by applying the voltage directly to the power distribution board.
Voltage applied to the power distribution board (+24 V DC) is routed to the various
modules installed in the mainframe. Each module requires this voltage for normal
operation. The power distribution board accepts +24 V DC as the primary input
power (supply A) through the connector labeled J10. The potential is then applied to
the modules through the interface cable provided with each module. This cable
connects the 26-pin interface on the mainframe to the rear panel power/status D
connector on the module. Fuse F2 protects the primary power (supply A). Fuse F5
is not applicable.
Redundant power (supply B) is provided in the form of +24 V DC to the terminal
block of the power distribution board. The connecting point is labeled J11 and
accepts +24 V DC through a spade lug type of interface. The redundant input is also
load protected (fuse F1).

Important: Wire gauge specifications for 24 V DC/15 A input are as follows:
10’ cable: 12 AWG minimum
5’ cable: 15 AWG minimum
Terminal Block
Normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) contact points are available on the
terminal block (J11) of the power distribution board. These interface points allow
you to trigger an external alarm should the general operation alarm of the
mainframe toggle to an alarm state. The number five position of the terminal block
may be utilized in conjunction with the common position, number six, in a normally
closed alarm relay. The number seven pin may be used in conjunction with the
common position in a normally open alarm relay configuration. Under normal
operation (no alarm), number six and number five are closed.
Status Monitoring
Status of housed modules is supplied to users via front panel LEDs, or the ROSA™

Laser Link Mini-Mainframe Description
Overview
This section contains physical and functional descriptions of the Laser Link MiniMainframe.
Physical Description
The Laser Link Mini-Mainframe fits into a standard 2 RU (3.5 inch/8.89 cm) high by
19- or 23-inch (48 or 58 cm) wide area that is approximately 20 inches (51 cm) deep.
It should be mounted in a cabinet that conforms to ANSI/EIA-310-C standards. The
2 RU space accommodates four half-width modules or two full-width modules.
Mounting brackets (19”) are provided with each unit.
Self-adhesive fiber routing clips are provided to secure fiber routed from modules.
Power Distribution
Main power may be universal AC, -48 V DC, or +24 V DC input. With universal AC
or -48 V DC, the mainframe chassis requires a power supply or converter,
respectively. The power supply is located behind the fan assembly. This unit
accepts the AC or the -48 V DC and performs the required conversion to output +24
V DC to the power distribution board. Should the +24 V DC be available, the
mainframe may be operated without a power supply by applying the voltage
directly to the power distribution board.
Voltage applied to the power distribution board (+24 V DC, 2.5 A maximum) is
routed to the various modules installed in the mainframe. Each module requires this
voltage for normal operation. The power distribution board accepts +24 V DC as the
primary input power (supply A) through the connector labeled J3. The potential is
then applied to the modules through the interface cable provided with each module.
This cable connects the 26-pin interface on the Mini-Mainframe (JXA1) to the rear
panel power/status D connector on the module. The fuse labeled F3 protects the
primary power (supply A).

Status of housed modules is supplied to users via front panel LEDs.
Status monitoring signals are routed from the rear of the module to the power
distribution board. This is accomplished through connection of the power
distribution board’s (HD DB26F) connectors to the individual modules using the
appropriate interface cables.
Integrated Dual Fan Assembly
A dual fan assembly provides cooling for the Mini-Mainframe.
Note: The dual fan assembly is removable from the front of the mainframe.

Laser Link III Mainframe Installation
Overview
This section provides step-by-step instructions for installing the Laser Link III
Mainframe and describes how to make electrical connections. For information on
installing modules in the mainframes, refer to the specific module manual.
For ease of installation and safety, keep the following in mind throughout this
procedure.
CAUTION:
Any time the mounting ears attached to the mainframe are moved (in order to
adjust the depth to which the mainframe is installed) or replaced (in order to
mount the mainframe in a 23-inch bay) the maximum allowable torque for
tightening the screws is 7 to 9 in-lbs. Failure to adhere to this caution may result
in equipment damage.
Elevated Operating Ambient
If the mainframe is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating
temperature inside the rack may become elevated. Use care to ensure that this
elevated temperature does not exceed the rated temperature for the unit.
Reduced Air Flow
When selecting a location to install the mainframe, follow these guidelines.
• A 1 RU (1.75-inch/4.4 cm) clearance above the uppermost mainframe in the rack is
required for ventilation.
• A 1 RU (1.75-inch/4.4 cm) clearance is necessary if the product mounted above the
mainframe has a solid, flat bottom that would restrict airflow when placed directly
on top of the mainframe.
• Additional mainframes may be directly racked on top of one another, as
ventilation space is integral to the mainframe. However, this particular
configuration does not allow access to, or removal of, the fan assembly.
• An enclosed rack with side panels and rear doors installed will allow for “chimney
effect” airflow to occur. This type of airflow maximizes the convection cooling
characteristics of the mainframe.
Mechanical Loading
When mounting the mainframe in the rack, be aware that uneven loading could
skew the center of gravity, resulting in a hazardous condition.

Circuit Overloading
When connecting the equipment to the supply circuit be aware of the effect that
overloading of circuits could have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
Consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this
concern.
Reliable Grounding
Reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular
attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the
branch (e.g. use of power strips).
Tools and Equipment
The following tools and equipment are required for installation.
• #2 Phillips-head screwdriver
Procedure
Follow this procedure to install the Laser Link III Mainframe.
1.
